Am I Close to an Offer??

WSO brethren - Please provide me some input on this. I had a final round with an upcoming small MM PE firm 3 weeks ago. I met the principal, partner and then went for lunch with the team. They had liked me l and then right at the end Gave me an office tour. The principal had responded to my thank you note saying that it was great meeting me and that they’ll get back with next steps. That was before corona really blew up. Recently, the principal got back to me and asked if we could catch up over the phone / video chat this week. What do you think they may have in mind? Is this a rejection / waitlist in which case they could have notified me over Email? What else can they be wanting to catch up on? Negotiate salary and so forth or am I getting too ahead of myself
